I've listened to this record so much in my life, so even though I don't love the song, I can't imagine Zen Arcade without it. It is part of the DNA of that record.

I definitely skip it sometimes if I am not in the mood. IIRC, my dubbed cassette copy that I used to listen to in my car back in the day omitted this song.

Still, Not Crap.

I mean they leveled 60's rock with "Eight Miles High" so I think ending on a warped, hallucinatory instrumental only makes sense. They were adamant that they were moving past punk rock and this song cements it.

It wouldn't be Zen Arcade without it.

I agree that being stoned and playing it at top volume help it make "sense," but the band was going for the throat across the entire album, how is this song so different?
